(vVVf Ml iL wcretwo girls who lived
r r .in - j( fifa over In that direction
who were generally her companions. They were
toth In Stammls's place and were known as Llda
Mallon and Kate Murphy,
Every night for a year these girls went through
Fourteenth street, turned up the Second
avenue and .separated on the corner ot
Eighteenth street. Llda Mallon was a little viva
clous, red-headed creature, with here and there a
freckle,
Kate Murphy was the oldest of the three and
altogether tho most sedate.; The girls In Stammls's
said Bhe had teen married, but girls have a wuy
of guessing at these thlngi that I do not under
stand. She was a dark, square-shouldered woman
who was rather melancholy and very quiet.
The other girl was Maggie Brush. No one ever
notloed Llda or Kate as they passed along. Some
how Maggie caught all the attention. It's hard for
me to tell why. Ton my word, If you were to ask
me how I coaldn't explain It to you. I'vo heard
men discuss It for honrs and always disagree as to
what It was, but always agree that It was there.
She was a trine above the medium bright. But
she always looked taller than she really was. I've
seen bets lost tlrao and again on her height. She
had an erect way ot carrying herself, as If she
wcro looking down on you don't you know, and
you couldn't escape tho feeling, even If you were
lx feet high. But It couldn't, havo been that alone
that mado peoplo notice, yet women purchasers
who went Into stammla'a used to say when they
hart looked at them: "Oh, niy.I wonder who she Is
with her proud airs." Four years later Alfred
Thompson, the artist, said to her one day: "My
dear, the Graces built you, but It was Giotto htm
tlf who struck with his dlvino pencil those two
curves on your forehead.
She bad u good-looking round faco and a
clear complexion, with two big eyes, tho color of

color to. I never saw exactly the same color In

You've seen It on the mountain side In Septem

noticed It sometimes in the allies of your best

That Nasty Medicine.
Oct. 23, 1888,
IP. B. lllr it Hon.
Dun SlBl! A few dart aco I obtained two bottles of
your KxrzcTOBANT for my daughter, who haahadluna;
trouble for a lour time, ana waa fast coin Into oonsump
tlnn. I immediately stopped the XA8IY mkdioims the
doctore were string Tier and began tin your medicine, fnl
lowlnc the direction implicitly. I hare Just siren ber the
last til tine bottle, and the result baa been auoh that I feel
it my duty to thank you and ask you to publish this state
ment for the Rood or others. The pain in her chest and
the worrying-, hacking onugh, which was lit cebsakt and
most distressing, has intibzxy msarrKARED. I beliere
ray daughter ia as weU to-day as she has ever been in her
life, but I shall use the remaining bottle of Expectouant,
giving small doses daily to make aure. It seems atmnat
beyond belief that a trouble so serious and of such long
standing should be cured in roun DATB. Again thank
ing yuu lor this blessing, 1 remain, yours gratefully,
Mrs. IlAXWABD,
115t Norfolk St., city. V
eyebrows were sure to make you think she had
blacked them but Lord, she never thought of
such a thing, and at that tlmo I don't believe she
had ever heard ot such a thing.
It was not the color of them 10 muoh aa the
absurd way In which they arched themselves on
her forehead. Poor girl, she couldn't help her
eycbrowB and a freckle round her nose.
Where was I. Oh, yes, her mouth. Well, It
wasn't one of those little, saucy, pinched affairs.
It was a big mouth, cherry red, with two little
keyboards in It upon which a deep contralto voice
made rauBlc. No man ever aaw It when Bhe laughed
without saying to himself, the brute: "Ueavcns,
how I would like to be kissed by that!"
Where she got her month and eyebrows, I never
could understand. Ilcr old mother didn't have
them, and her father, bless my soul.he had a hard,
square jaw and two or three white bristles that
never, never could have been beautiful.
Something more about Maggie. Uave a little
patience and git e mo free scope, and I'll tell you
It I can, though this Is the hardest part. Up to
this time clothes had never dressed her the
curious thing was that she dresBed the clothes.
I hope you know what I mean. She was poor, but
It made no difference what she threw on, It fell
Into the curve of ber body and began to get stylo
from somewhere. If sho wore ono of those hid
eous and cheap waterproofs that make mott girls
look like old umbrellas that will not shut up, some
how It began to spring out here and bend In there,
as It nature had panlers and corsets of her own
and snapped her fingers at the costumcrs.
' And so she has, girls don't yon forget It.
Perhaps you understand now why Maggie was
the girl of the three that attracted attention.
The fact is, Maggie was one of those girls
that men call stunning, and women who are not
stunning with a look of their heads acknowledge
"fine-looking."
During the first week that she was in Stammls's
she was so tired with standing on her feet all day
that she used to stop and sit down and rest when
on her way home on old Judge Fancher'swhlte mar
ble steps down there near Second avenue. And ono
night the butler came down the steps and, seeing
some one dimly In a water-proof, said: "Come,
now, move along, madam," and Maggie Inno
cently lifting her eyebrows at him, he changed his
tune. "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said he,
"can I go In and get you a glass ot water or
wine J"

Her father, fifty-eight years old, lived In the
basement of the old-fashioned three-story house,
that you can see standing still on the north aide of
Eighteenth street, between the First and Second
avenues. lie was an Englishman, and he had

There were only thrco of them the old man, the
old woman aud Maggie, unless we count In Llda,
who spent a good deal 01 her tlmo there for rea
sons which I will tell you presently.

however, looking at Kolcoy instead of whore
sho was going, caught her foot in tho track so
suddonly that it brought lier to tho ground.
Sho uttered a cry of pain. Kolcoy, who

said to her friend is not known, but tho ex
pression on lier face was ono of such sub

John B. Rogers, Minnio Palmex'i marital
and theatrical manager, never loses an oppor
tunity of bringing that young woman and
(incidentally, of course), himself boforo the
public. At tho Brooklyn Park Thentro lost
weok, My Brother's Sister " was given, Mr.
Rogers distributed printod lottors bogging
the nudience to answer theBo questions : "Do
you liko tho title of tho ploy ?" " Do you
like the story ?" " Do you like tho char
actors?" ,cDo you liko tho songs and
music ?" and " Can you suggest any improve
ments ?" To tho lost question ono gentleman
wrote ns follows : " Yes, I can. Put Johnnio
Rogers on in a song and dance."
Several members of nnrrigan's company
ore Bald to bo extremely dissatisfied because
in the now play called "Pcto" to bo pro
duced to-night tnoy have boon assigned vory
6m ill parts. Mr. Harrigan will introduce
two or three now mombers in this ploy, and
this tho old ones do not like. Mrs. Yeamans
has a very small part, and Miss Annio Lang
don is also in tho background. The former
lady, who is ono of Mr. Harrigan's cleverest
actresses, is known in slang parlance as a
" kicker."
The solo of seats for the production of
" She " at Niblo's next weok commences on
Thursday. Tho interest that attaches itself
to the novol is shown by tho number of or
ders for seats for tho play secured by E. G.
Gilmoro. The feoblo attempts made to pro
duce " Sho " out of town havo been dismally
disastrous. As before stated, no sooner do
New York managers announce their intention
of producing tho drnmatizntion of u book
than out-of-town people follow in their foot
stepH without any facilities at hund, Mr.
Rider Haggard's written authorization, sent
to Mr. William Gillette, is, of course, simply
an acknowledgment of the announcement
that Gillette will pay him royalties. Tboro is
no legal nocossity for royaftios. Tho inter,
national copyright question is, however,
slightly hackneyed.
Arthur Wallaok ond Chorles Alfred Byrne
are in working harness. They havo just
completed another play called "Temptation."
Charles Alfred Bvrne is a now aud rovisod
edition of C. A. llyrno.
Dixey opened last night in San Francisco.
Tho advauco sale before his arrival inolmled
every seat in tho houso, for the opening
night. It is the comedian's intention to re
main in California for flve weeks. E. E.
Rice, who is with Dixey, will return this
weok, if anything definite can be said in
advnnco about tho movements of so orratio a
gentleman.
The production of "Held by the Enemy"
at the Grand Opera-House next Monday, and
of " She " at Niblo's, will show Mr. Gillette's
work in two of tho largest theatres in
America on tho somo evening.
Khor's " Anarchy " is prodncod bv Messrs.
French and Sanger, Josoph Haworth and
Miss Annio Roho, will appear in tho leading

the years. People for blocks away knew that
John Brush could mend a parasol or a fan, cement
a vase, fix a dog collar or patch a piece of old
furniture with wonderful patience aud curious
kill, and not ask a big price for doing it. lie was
never Idle. There was always something to keep
him busy, and Mrs. Brush sometimes helped him.
When, aa occasionally happened, there was a rush
of jobs, he sent round In Nineteenth street for
Frank Perebeau, a young man who worked In
Baur & Ketchum's coach factory, and the two of
til cm would gtvo the ccnlng to It under a little
kerosene lamp, merrily enough bo far as Frank
was concerned, tor Maggie was eure to be some
where about, and It she wasn't, why Llda would
be there with her vivacity, and next to Maggie's
magnificence, Llda's long tonguo and chlrrupy
laugh waB Frank I'erebeau's delight.
It was a Jolly picture that you might see of
winter nights when the men were at work and the
girls coming home from the store, looked first In
at the window to see Frank In his shirt alt-eves,
and through the open door Mrs. Bruab, In her
white apron, waiting at the llttlo supper table for
them aud knitting. Then they would burst In,
and the great, hearty Maggie would kiss her old
father effusively as If to torment Frank, and the
pair of them would race through Into the warm
back room and aet overythlng astir. Those were
merry though humblo times, overythlng went
along so evenly and regularly. They didn't want
much and they managed somehow to get an enor
mous amount of happiness out of their absnrd
affection for each other.
But, of course, this couldnt last, aa you know
I very well.
And the reason I suppose I might as well ac
knowledge It at once-wai Haggle's eyebrows. I've
, 4QeIavU
often thought since, If sho could onltfiave had
them pulled out or burnt off, how nicely things
would have Jogged on.
borne months before she went to Stammls's the
eyebrows began to exert their Influence. But I
don't think the poor girl thought much about It.
Hlocum, the butcher's apprentice, thrco doors up,
used to whistle her pralaea for hours at ulght on
tho area railing, and he even alluded to her as
'sweetmeats" among his rudo companions, but
when he spoke to her sho turned on her eyebrows
In a couple of astonishing curves, and he gave a
gaap.
I suppose patient old John Brush never noticed
how things wero going. When did It ever occur
to a doting old man'a heart to auspect that ills lamb
must draw all tho wolves round hla fold, and finally
walk off with the worst coyote of them all; I
don't believe It ever entered his bead that It was
stretching the umbrella buslneaa a point when
young Flnnarty camo thcro three times In oue
week to havo a lerrulo fixed. To anybody but old
Bruah It would have flashed that Fiunnrty
virtuoso or a monomanlao In tho matter ot fer

(noiltm IMlr fe CAla?o Tritons. )
The extent to which the mania for Indulgence In
so-called "nerve soothing" drags Is spreading
may well excite alarm. An apothecary was asveil
the other day for aamall quantity of some alcep
produclng mixture. He handed over an ounce
battle of a brownish aolntlon, which he poured
from a huge Jar that he took from tho topmost
ahclf.
" Harmless, I suppose J" the customer aatd.
"tjulte so," was the reply. "Fifty ccnta, If
yon pleaae."
"l)o you mind telling me Just what the pre
scription la 7"
" Certainly not. I have the formula hero In my
book" turning over tho leaves rapidly. "Wo
keep It ready mado In quantities, because therein
such frequent call for It. Yes, I have It now.
For eaou fluid drachm, fifteen groins bromide of
potaaslum, fifteen grains chloral, one-eigtith of a
grain of hatheesh and one-eighth of a grain of
.henbane.' "
"Hut thme Ingredients are all poisons,"
" Yea, they are," admitted tho apothecary, re
luctantly ; " but to long as Tun don't take too muca
of thrm they are not at all dangerous. "
Perhaps not. Hut this Bluff It la known as
"bromfdla" may be pnrchsaed by the quart at any

with whlrh medical science la acquainted. For Iho
treatment of certain nrrroua affections it Is un
equalled. Hut, unfortunately, tho brotnldta habit
la aa readily acquired aa It is difficult to relinquish,
and, the taste for It once obtained, Its victim soon
becomes a hopeless slave. Plenty of auch mixtures

"Poor Mrs. hlmklnsl"algha a sympathetic ac

Flowers for Actresses.
Ftom (its l'httaMpta rtmsf,
There Isn't a ulght at somo ot the theatres that a
messenger boy doetn't carry a big boquct to the
box office for somo actress. The boqueta rango In
price from t'3 to $20. Men who have no acquain
tance with tho actress go to the theatre, become
smitten with her, and tho next night rush Into a
florist's and commit the folly of buying her flowers.
Men usually send their cards anil address attnehod
to tho bouquet. Some send letters begging trio
acquaintance of tho actress. The different methods
of urcscntltiii floral tributes to fatoritc actressca
and singers is curious to remark. In the old days
they wero thrown upon tho stage at tho feet
of tho favored arilste and came directly
from the hand ot tho donor. Occasionally the
rard of tho giver was attached to no floral tribute.
Nowadays It is the custom to hand tho floral trlli-
Ho caught a severe cold and bad a slight conges
tion of the lungs. He did not complain. Both the
old folk went olong uncomplainingly, but the busi
ness stopped. It had never occurred to any of
them that John could get sick, simply because they
had never seen him Kick. They had grown so ac
customed to sec him go through his dally toll In tho
same way for years wltbout saying anything-that
It seemed as It things must go ou that way for
ever. Now ho was on his back. Then It occurred
to Maggie that sho ought to bo able to take caro ot
herself, and Llda, who was getting ts a week In
Stammls's, suggested that place. So It came about
that Magglo began her career aa a floor-girl.
Thcro wasn't any objection urged at home. The
old folks never objected to anything. They some
times looked hurt or sad, and occasionally their
watery eyes silently overflowed at Bomcthlngj but
tbat was all.
This was the step that made Maggie a woman
and brought about all the terrible after conse
quences. I want yon clearly to understand that she was a
good girl. She know nothing of tho world though.
Healthy, hsppyand unsuspecting, she was Juat as
amiable aud Innocent ss a good girl can be.
Kind-hearted too. Why, she had no more Idea of
a flirtation than you have of a human barbecue.
Hit ever occurred to her that her eyebrows had
hurt somebody her big eyes wanted to wipe out
the wrong with tears. Sho had had a common
school education, that was all; but she had a
whole stock of things people call Intuitions and
feelings. How lougdojou supposo It took her to
And out that she was not liko the other girls In
fltammls'a. Why, they hated her the first day
They made fun of her clothes so that she couldn't
help hearing It. They called her "My dear," and
stabbed her In the back, as you might say. They
tried to Imitate her and screwed tbelr eyebrows
up, only It was a bad Imitation, because, you see,
they did not have the eyebrows. She used to cry a
little at Drat, all to heraelf. But I.Ida was
her friend and Kate Murphy liked her In a cold
way, so that before the year was out she got a
little hsrdcncd to It and didn't mind It.
Frank Perebeau used to ask her to let him come
over on rainy nights and bring her home, but aha
always laughed at him good-naturedly and said
sho wouldn't let him wasto tho time. John got
well enough lo work, but he never was aa strong
again; and Frank camo over ami helped him out
with his Jobs, and matters went along easily
enough for the year, without any other change
than took plarc In Maggie. Sho dressed better,
hating tho money to buy clothes, and grew dally
more beautiful; and finally Frank Perebeau, In hla
Bhlrt-slecvcs, made love to her and told her he was
going to marry her. He bad talked It all over with
the old folks,
She laughed at Frank Perebeau.
He didn't care for the laugh. It was the eye
brow B.
Her mouth icemed to say: "Oh, this Is the fun
nlestthlng I ever heard ofl" But herejebrona
seemed to say: "I'm waiting for somebody better
than you."
Tho next man that came along was Earnest
Sedley, and be came along In the most proper and
careful way. He was the brother of Mr. Stam
mls's stater. He had a wealthy mother, and ahe
had got Stammla to make him superintendent of
one of the departments in the store. Maggie
knew In less than six months tbat Sedley liked her.
In faot, every girl In Ihe place knew It, especially
the Homan-noeed -Miss Beckwlth, the oaahter,
whoso gray eyes were always watching Maggie
through her little wicket at the cash desk.

Mice knows what ll going to huppen long before

flowers upsets her, spoils the effect of the sceno
and mars the arllatlo result of the act. To a good
many Ihcalre-goera tho presentation over the foot

The rivalry between the magazines of New York
Is very great at present. Taalr market Is the
whole country. Their revenues lncresse with the
growth of Intelligence. As their success depends
on the quality ami attractiveness of their contents,
there Is Intellectual as well as business rivalry and
the extent to which this Is carried may be seen In
the flamboyant promlics of ihe advertisements
'which they are Issuing at this setsonnf the year.
Famous names are heralded abroad by the pub
lishers, and moving or taking themes, or fasclnat
Inu romances or charming Illustrations are put In
competition with others ot the kind until
one Is almost bewilder d by the spectacle. All
tula f urnlabes opportunity for competent wrlters"tn
every field of letters, and It is certain that nevor
before wero the openings so great for such writers
In our country. Young llteruv aspirants are
alwayt assuring each otucr that there Is no chance
for genius nowadays, hut they can leirn In the
office of every magazine that the competition to
secure "gcnliia" la actively puraucd tho year
round.
The InflncncA of Ihe New York magazines upon
the literary and anlstto culturo of tho country Is
very great, and it la a matter of pride that the
character of all of them makes them worthy of
their fortunes.

WITH A hTUONO OAST.
trimmings department as you are, my dear girl, to
run a locomotive. lie was a vigorous Intellectual
looking young man about twentj-seven years old,
who hnd kept an active place In college by his
mnsclc. He walked abont in Stammls's and tried
to prevent the girls from seeing him yawn, and ho
betrayed an unbounded, bnt the most respectful
admiration for Jllss Brush.
Thcro were many little opportunities to talk to
her, and ho told her bit by bit how bis mother bad
insisted on his coming Into the store and learning
to bo a business man, and bow he had consented
Just to please her, bnt how bo was often tempted to
run away and go on a ranch. lie found ont a
good deal about Miss Ilruah, too, partly from
herself and partly from liii. There was
such a kindly consideration about him that
It was Impossible for a girl not to like him.
Hut It took a good while to Cnd out all his good
qualities, and girls don't take time as a rule. They
Jump at thcae things headlong, aa jou will seo
soon enough. That Miss Brush did.
I can tell you pretty accurately how'matters pro
greised with Sedley.
The first month be said to himself: "Wonder
fully pretty girl that for somebody. So Intelligent,
too. I suppose she's as poor as a beggar. Sho
qulle Interests me."
The second month he said: "Damme, I can't
get that girl out of my head. If I wasn't a man of
sumo will I Bhould Bay she'd maahed me. "
The third month bo said: "After all, what Is
wealth or posttlou or calling T
" Kind hearts ar. mor. than coronets
Aud siraplo faith than Norman blood.
The fourth month he said: "I love that girl
beyond all power of control. She has become a
dream of my life In spite of me. Without her I
shall bo absolutely and forever miserable."
When the fifth month came ho went to bis
dowager mother and said: "Mother, I've found
out how you can make a man ot me. You'll have
to let me get married. "
The old l.tdy looked up with well-bred surprise.
"Why, you don't mean to say that yon want to
quit Stammls's. I thought yon wero beginning to
' ahow a most unexpected attachment for tbo
place."
I
I "Mother," said the young man, "I never did
I anything tu my llfo without consulting you. I
I want to get married. Got the girl picked out.
She's poor, humble, but angelic I want you to go
and seo her, and then tell roe If I can do better."
Ordinarily Sedley could stop her questions when
they were too prying by kissing her on the fore
head and knocking off her spectacles. This time
he didn't try It. The first question sho asked waa:
"la alio worthjr?" To which he drew himself up and
replied! " Ily all odda the worthiest I ever saw."
' ' How long hut o you known her 7"
"Six mouths."
"Where Is aho?"
"She's down in Stammls's at the bugle counter.
Y'ou'U know her br tho old-fashioned English pin
on her throat. It's a llttlo cameo with a mosaic
figure In It. Notlro her eyebrows by heavens"
" lteatralu juursclf my son, what are her
parents."
Hero ho knocked her spectacles off, " Let's do
termlnoabout tho lady first," ho said. "I'll tell
you all about the old foils afterwards."
"Po I understand you to say that this young
lady has proposed to you t" she asked.
"Mother," he answered, "doni be absurd, and
don't put such a disagreeable accent on 'young
lady,1 Haven't I consented to let you appraiae
her, and abide by your decision."
" Have yon proposed to her. "
